A Northern Lynching. A mob of a couple of thousand men Monday night at Wilmington, Del., broke Into the county workhouse bent on lynching George White, the negro who was held on a charge of assault lng and killing Helen Bishop. The guards defended the place and a boy and a man, members of the mob, were shot and slightly Injured. The guards played a strong stream of water from a hose Into the crowd, which stubbornly held its ground and declared they would get the negro. The negro was taken to the scene of the crime. He there confessed to hav. lng assaulted the girl. He was then burned to the stake and his body rid dled with bullets. The excitement attending the grue some tragedy enacted Monday night when George F. White the negro mur derer of seventeen-year-old Helen S. Bishop, was burned at the stake, has subsided. The swift and dire punishment meted out to the per petrator of the crime is the sole topic of conversation but the details are calmly rehearsed. During the show of resistance made by the police and the Jail officials when the mob attacked the New Castle county workhouse, Peter Smith, a 12 year old boy, was shot in the back The bullet which struck him evident ly came from a pistol in the crowd, as it Is claimed by the prison war den that his guards fired over the heads of the lynchers. Smith died Wednesday afternoon. Another young man, whose name Is unknown, was slightly Injured. The only other persons known to have been hurt was a man who vas kicked by White, when the negro attempted to escape from 'nis torturers, and another man who had his arm burned Mrs. Bishop, mother of the mur dered girl, is In a state of extreme nervousness. While was put to death within a few hundred yards of the Bishop house and the glare of the fire and howls of the mob could plainly he seen and heard at the house. Farmer Murdered In Field. The Ontario county authorities have arrested and lodged in county Jail at Canandaigua Edward Sexton, 35 years of age, on the charge of killing with a shot gun, on the evening of Tuesday, Thomas Mahaney, Jr., a fel low farmer, at their home, in Farming- ton. In 1899 Sexton was arrested and con victed on a charge of assault In the third degree, for shooting at Thomas Mahaney, Sr., the father of the man fust murdered. He served 50 days In jail for the crime, although he broke Jail once, but was recaptured. At that time, it is charged, he swore vengeance on the Mahaney family. The murder was a foul one, the assassin creeping up behind Mahaney while he was drilling beans in the field, just out of the sight of his family, who heard shots, but suspect ed nothing wrong till the team came running In from the field. The body was found lying on Its face with a terribly mangled skull, the entire charge of shot 'piercing the left eye, ear and temple. The murder aroused the entire community and bloodhounds were taken to the spot by the authori ties, but th heavy rainfall hampered (Vie dogs. Sexton wns found at his fc.-mo infer The officers whp wnt to serve the warrant had to Dattei down Sexton's door to get at him He was dragged out of his house anc went quietly with the officers. President at Oyster Bay. President Roosevelt passed a qule Sunday with his family at his Saga more Hill home. It Is announced by Secretary Loet that the president will receive few cal lers at Sagamore Hill this summer and those who hope to see him wil be obliged to make engagement! through Mr. Loeb in advance of theii arrival at Oyster Bay. The president will devote his raorn lngs to the transaction of executive business and afternoons to recreatloi and rest. During the afternoons, tot he will receive euch callers as ma) have engagements with him or those whom he may summon to Sagamore Hill. The executive offices selected foi Secretaries Loeb and Barnes and the Jcfejrical force this year are mucli more commodious and convenient than those occupied last year. They coa Hist of six rooms in the second story of the Moore block and are well ar ranged and admirably adapted to the purposes of the executive staff. The desks and other furniture In the office are chiefly those which were used In the executive offices of the old White lionise. President Rooosevelt will spend nc time In the offices, his work being done in hla library at Sagamore Hill. The offices are in direct comnrunica tion by telephone with Sagamore Hill Bradstreet's Review of Trade. Crop, trade and labor conditions still present some Irregularities, but six months' trade returns point to actual business having been better than a year ago, and the situation, as a whole, shows favorable features pre dominating as to the future. The iron and steel situation seems to have improved slightly. Some large strikes have been for mally ended, and the two leading troubles are those of the textile work ers at Philadelphia and the building hands at New York. The disorder at Richmond Is due to a strike of a rela tively insignificant number of em' ployes. High prices for raw materials, no tably cotton, constitute a drag upon future business, the full effects of which cannot yet be measured until the turn of the year, when the crop situation becomes more clearly de fined. The situation, In fact, may be said to be a waiting one, but confidence in the future Is still predominant.
